At least 12 Twite still present, probably 20 as a distant 'bouncy' flock of finches split roughly 12 & 8 in the air and then a flock of 12 Twite soon seen on ground and later a flock of 8. From the parking area head East. Closest 8 birds were feeding in patches of seaweed about 100 yards from car park as I returned, but the 12 had been ranging as far as and beyond the memorial another c.600 yards further east along coast path.
